Something else for you to consider is the Velocity Micro Cruz T301. I just saw a leaked Black Friday ad listing for Radio Shack and it'll be on sale for only $50. I know nothing about this device. Just passing on the info.

Google said as of the 25th, it is not supported by Android Market:
Quote:
Hello Emily,

Thanks for writing in. At this time, that device is not supported through Android Market.

The Android operating system is open source, which means that any device manufacturer is free to use Android on its devices. However, Android Market is an application created by Google that is only made available to devices that pass Google’s compatibility requirements. In addition, manufacturers must obtain a license from Google in order to install Android Market on their devices.

For more information about the Android Compatibility Program, please visit:

http://source.android.com/compatibility/index.html

If you have any further questions, I recommend contacting the manufacturer of the device directly.

If I can assist you further, please let me know.

Regards,

Brian
The Android Market Team
As Mark_Lenovo had said on the forum (page 3), the OS is Android certified, but Lenovo doesn't have the full Android Market, some sort of decision to support certain apps but not others.

dyates9770,

I've looked into this and I'm not sure there is going to be a really satisfying answer to this one.

The short answer is that aparantly we made some business decisions about which digital content delivery aps (netflix, etc) that we wanted to support on the K1 and which that we weren't supporting. We are supporting the aps delivered through our market.

Longer term, I think the more that we hear how people want to use the tablets (and what the marketplace needs are) the better we can include these in future releases or potentially revisit prior decisions.

I appreciate your feedback on this one, I know it is important to you.


Mark
I'm basically taking Google's word above Lenovo's, because they're not trying to sell me the device. It could be that they'll have it straightened out in a few weeks' time, but they couldn't give me proof or guarantee, just their word. :\

Ordered the Vox yesterday, savings of $56 from the Lenovo, and the review on Good EReader has me excited. :-)

This thing is not worth $50. I bought one and ended up giving it to my son in law who threw it away.

Oh my gosh. That's really bad when you throw it away. Usually you just put it on a shelf somewhere. To be forgotten. That's my husband, refuses to throw anything away. Quite annoying. He'll actually go in the trash and remove anything of his I discarded.

Enjoy! Yeah, I'm not a fan of racing to products for Black Friday. Can't get me to stand out in the cold and I hate crowds. I scored last year with online ordering from JC Penney's for boots on Thursday and Friday. Had a few time outs on the web site from traffic, but managed to mostly get the ones I wanted. I imagine it's worse for electronics!

As for the Velocity ... you find more bad than good reviews out there. Sorry to see it get tossed, though.

Scion - sounds like my stepdad. Gross, but we had to get sneaky about throwing away his holey socks and underwear, because he'd dig them out! ::shudder::

Awesome! I'll just download it from the ....

But seriously, I'll have to sideload it and see if it fixes the wifi.

Hmm it seems the MID8125 has issues with memory corruption. Maybe downgrade to a 7022. It seems to have the best reviews and it's a capacitive screen.
For me, the 4:3 screen was the major selling point. I already own a Nook Color that has a 7" narrow screen.

Why not just add the Market to it? You don't need to root it at all. Just install like 4 apks then reboot and you should have market access. Just google androidtablets.net and go to their Colby Generation 2 section. I've been reading up on all the quirks and issues of the 7022. So I am all ready for my tablet!

The 7022 has a 4:3 screen as well I believe.

Thanks! I am excited about getting one finally! I do owe you thanks for letting me know Coby is a good brand when it comes to tablets.

My mom who is in a wheelchair has been injured by greedy selfish people on that day a couple years back. I tell my sister do not take her even if she wants to go one of those sales. I only do Black Friday online like Newegg has some amazing sales on that day!
